Student union elections will be held on Wednesday at Kolkata's Jadavpur University where Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is contesting for the first time ever.

In a first, the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has fielded candidates for the February 9 students' union polls in Jadavpur University, known to be a hot spot of the Left-wing politics.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad has rejected allegations of launching an attack on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus earlier this month, instead accusing Left-wing activists "who have brought a bad name to the institution" of orchestrating the violence.

Former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) President Kanhaiya Kumar on Friday said that the police briefing on the violence at the premier university in Delhi last week was "worrying" and the cops were speaking like members of the BJP-linked student body Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).

JNU attack: The students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) received support from unlikely quarters today, with senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi demanding the removal of its Vice Chancellor for not coming up with a "reasonable and working" solution to the fee hike row.

The student wing of the Congress, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) registered a victory on all the four seats in the students' union elections in Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya in Varanasi.

The students union president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University was badly injured as around 50 masked assailants armed with rods and sticks went on the rampage on the institution campus on Sunday evening.

Violence took place outside Kolkata's Jadavpur University today during a protest by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad -- the students' group linked to the BJP -- over Thursday's attack on Union Minister Babul Supriyo. As the police arrived and put up barricades outside the university gates, the students started throwing stones.

Union Minister Babul Supriyo was pushed, manhandled and his shirt was torn when he went to Jadavpur University in Bengal on Thursday for an event organized by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the students' organisation linked to the BJP. "They pulled me by my hair and pushed me," said the minister, who is seen in videos surrounded by a huge ...

Union Minister Babul Supriyo was today shown black flags and was allegedly heckled by some students at Kolkata's Jadavpur University. Mr Supriyo was on a visit to the varsity to address a seminar organised by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, or ABVP, the students' body linked to the BJP.

Describing as "historic" the ABVP's big win in the Delhi University Students' Union elections, BJP working president JP Nadda said on Friday that it is a victory of "nationalist ideology" among students.

The Congress-affiliated NSUI on Thursday said it blackened the bust of Veer Savarkar while garlanding the busts of Bhagat Singh and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose installed by the ABVP-led Delhi University Students' Union at the varsity.
